あらすじ・解説
In this episode, Sarah & Britt speak with Lauren, a mother of two from Austin, who shares her transformative journey from a medicalized first birth to a redemptive free birth. Lauren recounts her first pregnancy in New York City under the care of a home birth midwife who dropped her at the end of pregnancy and sent her to the hospital which led to her traumatic hospital induction experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Feeling abandoned and disillusioned by the medical system, Lauren decides to pursue a wild pregnancy and free birth for her second child. As Lauren delves into free birth communities and uncovers the power of physiological birth, she prepares for and ultimately experiences a peaceful, sovereign birth at home. This profound journey reshapes her perspective on motherhood, birthing, and personal empowerment. 00:00 Introduction and Excitement for the Podcast 01:27 Meet Lauren: A Homeschooling, Home Birthing Mom 02:29 Lauren's First Pregnancy Journey in New York 04:21 Challenges and Decisions During Pregnancy 13:17 Hospital Induction and Birth Experience 23:04 Postpartum Reflections and Hospital Stay 40:41 Navigating Hospital Discharge 42:21 First Moments at Home 44:01 Postpartum Reflections 45:23 Discovering Free Birth 46:38 Unraveling the Preeclampsia Story 48:07 Journey to Free Birth 51:52 Embracing a Wild Pregnancy 57:22 The Birth Experience 01:09:43 Postpartum Support and Healing 01:13:52 Reflections on Free Birth and Trauma 01:23:37 Final Thoughts and Integration CONNECT WITH SARAH.
